Neat and Tangled 5th birthday celebration!

Hi there!

I'm so thrilled to be part of the Neat and Tangled team, and especially when they are celebrating this milestone birthday. I was thrilled to be able to meet Danielle for dinner on our way down to Virginia Beach a few days ago. I wish either of us had remembered to snap a photo! But she is the sweetest and kindest person, and I am so lucky to be working for her. Happy 5th birthday, Neat and Tangled!

For this birthday month, things aren't running in their usual way. The new sets are available for purchase right now instead of at the end of the week! And the regular design team has the month off to make room for special guests in a week-long blog hop. For more details, check out the NT blog this morning - click!

GIVEAWAY: I do have a 15$ gift certificate to give away on my blog! Leave a comment on this post between now and Sunday August 13th 11:59 EST and I will pick a winner.

I illustrated a set that worked with our birthday theme, called Wild Ones.

I couldn't help but pair the images in Wild Ones with the new hand-lettered Hooray. All of the products released this month work so well together!

I did some simple ink-blending at the top of the folded card, and allowed the color to fade to nothing before grounding the images with a kraft-colored hill.

When I added the critters and the big HOORAY die-cut, I blended them into the background by coloring the outline around them blue wherever they would be sitting on the blue-inked card-base.

Hi Elena! I love this card! You are such an innovative card maker, stamp creator and all around awesome mom and blogger. I love following what you do even tho I don't have time to craft like I did before. I love watching you grow and do amazing things. Thank you for sharing your art with Me. I love how you colored the edges of the die cuts to make them blend with the backgroud because it's brilliant. You are Brilliant and I hope you know that. I hope you take time to get that about yourself.
